Summary, Etc. "Lazarus Lake, the elusive race director behind the Barkley Marathons and Big's Backyard Ultra, has been called everything from a hillbilly genius to the Leonardo da Vinci of Pain. The Barkley is widely regarded as the most demanding ultramarathon ever devised. Runners hunt for books hidden in the Tennessee wilderness. No GPS. No pacers. Success rate near zero. The Backyard Ultra is perhaps crueler -- a four-mile loop run every hour on the hour. Last one standing. For journalist Jared Beasley, the journey began with a simple question: What makes you quit? When all roads led to Lazarus Lake, a series of eccentric tests followed, and a straightforward biography morphed into something else altogether. Embedded at the 2023 Barkley and Backyard World Championship, Beasley strips away the brutality to reveal the surprising humanity at the heart of these trials. The Endurance Artist paints a portrait of Lazarus Lake in full: aimless hippie, hospital orderly, and volunteer coach who took the idea that failure has to hurt and turned it into an art form. One that would challenge our fundamental ideas of pain, potential, and reward." -- Page 4 of cover.
